1. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we collect and use the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users shall regularly only be performed after receiving the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases in which the obtaining of prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

 

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, where its party to the contract is the data subject, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to perform pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, which our company is subject to, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter c of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.

Article 6 paragraph 1 letter d of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis if the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest stated, then Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for the processing.

 

3. Deletion of data and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if required by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of a contract.

IV. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOG FILES

1. Description and scope of the data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data are collected in this process:

  • Information about the browser type and the version used
  • The user’s operating system
  • The user’s IP address
  • Date and time of the access

This data shall also be stored in the logfiles of our system. There is no storage of this date together with other personal data of the user.

 

2. Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR.

 

3. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow a delivery of the website to the user’s computer. The IP address of the user must be stored for the duration of the sitting to this end.

The storage in logfiles is performed to secure the functionality of the website. Moreover, the data serves us in optimising the website and ensuring the security of our IT systems. No evaluation of data for marketing purposes is performed in this connection.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 oparagraph 1 letter f of the GDPR.

 

4. Duration of storage

The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the relevant session has ended.

If the data are stored in log files, this is the case after 30 days at the latest. Storage extending beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or distorted so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.

 

5. Right of appeal and option of removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. There is therefore no right of appeal on the part of the user.

If the restriction of the processing has been restricted in accordance with the aforementioned conditions, you shall be notified by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

(1) Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or were otherwise processed.

You are entitled to the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed of these recipients.

 

6. Right to data portability

You are entitled to the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

(1) the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the GDPR or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a of the GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the GDPR and
(2) the processing is performed with the aid of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you additionally have the right to effect that your personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or performed in the exercise of official authority that was delegated to the controller.

 

7. Right to object

You have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to lodge an objection at any time against the processing of your personal data, which is performed on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

You have the option in connection with the use of services of the information company – irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC – of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures where technical specifications are used.

 

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing that was performed on the basis of the consent until the revocation is received.

 

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects for you or significantly affects you in a similar way.

This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
(2) is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
(3) takes place with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 paragraph 1 of the GDPR, unless Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a or g of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to express his/her point of view and to challenge the decision.

 

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to another administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the supposed violation, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Article 78 of the GDPR.
